5 1/4 inch - there's a million and one choices, so it depends pretty much entirely on just how limited your budget is! Go with seperate tweeters if you can... & Alpine make some nice sounding ones that don't cost the earth :thumb:

O.k. Cheers. Will have a look on the bay. Hmm, alpine sounds good. I had a set of infinity's in the last car and tbh they were pretty good but i sold them as i thought mine were ok. Dam!lol

Also it ses that the 5.25 speakers are 13cm. But 5.4" ones are also 13cm?? How does that work? These would be a bit to big would they?

These Infinity 5010cs are very good. I think a few of the Zoners have them, and I have the coaxial ones in the rear.

They're normall around £100 but I got mine from this guy on ebay and was very pleased with them.
